Well she left me here halfway,

Between the bright lights of Los Angeles

And the taudry nights of San Jose

We're next to seeing every way,

With a backpack full of Captain Jack,

To take me to an early grave.

And I've never been to paradise

Standing on this corner by myself

You don't have to tell me twice

And the worlds are gonna end

And if I could just pretend

That here's a place to go

San Luis Opisbo

And the streets may look the same

Any town by any name

Gonna find my afterglow

San Luis Opisbo

Difference between the light

Loneliness could be a one way flight

In the San Luis Opisbo Night

It's where no one seems to mind

If you string your words together with

Cigarettes and Sparkling Wine

Keep the conversation light

Wait until the girls get under dressed

Then the talk gets less for light

And I could stay here all my days

While I spend my life deciding if happiness is just a phase

And I hope that I'm not wrong

Maybe here's where I belong

Every winter free of snow

San Luis Opisbo

But if she's coming back again

I would flee but until then

Everyday my loved grows

San Luis Opisbo

Difference between the light

Loneliness is there but black or white

In the San Luis Opisbo night.

Sorry you misunderstood

Just get with these intentions good

But all I have is 2 feet left to stand

And if you're coming back through town

Just put you're beer back to the ground

Cause this boy's voice is changing into a man

And I hope that I'm not wrong

Maybe here's where I belong

Every winter free of snow

San Luis Opisbo

But if she's coming back again

I would flee but until then

Everyday my loved grows

San Luis Opisbo

Difference between the light

Loneliness could be a one way flight

In the San Luis Opisbo Night
